The MAN who processes TO want good
government, and fails to vote it when he
has an opportunity, is more to blame for bad
government than the man who votes for the
latter. 1t would be we'll for Virginia if all
her voters would recollect this t.ueism next
Tuesday. Tho man mo votes for bad gov.
eminent may do SO fIcm ignorance; but,
whatever The cause, be is at least honest and
brave enough to act in accordance with his
feelings, aud willing to lose the time and
take the trouble required to do so. On the
contrary, the pan protesting desire for
good government, and yet failing to vote
for it, renders himself justly liable to the
imputation OF insiDcarity, moral cowardice,
or of such entire absorption 10 selfish inter.
ests as to be utterly regardless of those re
lating to the welfare of the community in
which he lives.

Owens, carpenter, fell from scaholding
in Pitlsburg Thursday and was killed. He
went 10 Pittsburg shortly after the Hay
market riot in Chicago and was in d.
!apidated condition. He was nervous and
fretful and the sight of an officer seemed to
terrorizs him. A long time after the Hay
market occurrence Owens confessed to his
shopmate and room mate. a man named
Piper, o somewhat startling statement.
He said that there were many men in jail in
Chicago accused Of throwing the bombs at
the Haymarket, but the police had mo-,
caught them all. He then mysteiiously
whispered that he himself had stood next
10 the mau who had thrown one Of the
bombs. This story Owens told at the in.
quest under oath. He belonged to the same
group of anarchists as Spies and Parsons.

SENATOR DANIEL, in his speech at Rich
mond Thursday night, admitted that there
is some dissatisfaction with the present ad
miuistration This admission shows that
the Sauator is one Of the few democrats in
Congress who not only have their eyes open
to what is going on around them, but have
the mnniress to tell what they see. But
the election TO be held in this State next
Tuesday has nothing to do with the present
national administration. That election will
decide whether therace troubles in Virginia,
now happily Quoted, shall be revived, and
whether al! the other manifold evils OF the
Malone blight shall return with treble force

if Mr. Conkling was of the same opinion, he
replied yes, and that so were ali the other
counsel engaged on the side of the State.

assertion that if the democrats were success

federate pensions, and war claims and war
debts be paid, and gray back system of
finance be adopted, said if the people of his

Gen. Malone would have to do as Mr.. John
